Central Sleep Apnea Explained!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2023
- Central sleep apnea is less common than obstructive sleep apnea, but it's not rare. It's important to understand the different types of sleep apnea, including mixed sleep apnea. Be aware that if you have obstructive sleep apnea and you use CPAP therapy as part of your treatment, then you are at a higher level of risk to develop central sleep apnea.

I have no heart issues and have CSA.
Do you have ADHD?
I have recently been diagnosed with both obstructive and central sleep apnea, my readings are regularly between 30-70 times an hour every night, i get severe chest pain when i laugh and have a heart murmur too. My respiratory specialist has never seen a case like mine and said that as a result of my case, he's now going to explain it to the rest of the respiratory department. Its incredibly difficult for me to breath through my nose while im awake.
Thank you for sharing! We hope your respirologist and your care team will be able to come up with a diagnosis or help you alleviate your symptoms soon.
Any update? I've been diagnosed with central sleep apnea after years of my previous sleep doctor saying it had only obstructive.
I have always had a lower heart rate, the lowest I had it medically recorded at was 36bpm after I just had a large coffee. My heart rate was normally 45-55bpm as a child (I was not athletic but skinny). As long as I can remember, I have had moments in the daytime where I audibly gasp for air which is completely out of my control. I never knew this not normal until this morning. I am 38 years old...
I was recently diagnosed with central sleep apnea from dysautonomia. Also have sinus tachycardia and recently chf. Sucks bc I'm only 47. I've already lost a lot of my vision from chronic optic neuropathy for whatever reason. I was active and healthy 2.5 years ago and now I'm in horrible health. I don't get it and I hate it.
I'm so sorry to hear about everything you're going through. That must be incredibly frustrating and scary! 😔
Fascinating! I’ve been dealing with not breathing enough when I sleep in response to my first vaccine in 2021. I’m hoping to get a machine asap. Pray for me.
Thank you for watching. We hope you get your BiPAP soon. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Finally someone explains this to me. Thanks.
I don’t breathe when I sleep and I got a sleep study done and they said everything was fine and normal despite me gasping for air in the middle of the night during my sleep study. I think those sleep studies are so inaccurate.
If you did a home sleep study we suggest asking your doctor for a referral to do an in-lab sleep test. Lab sleep tests are more comprehensive (measures your brain waves, eye movement, heart rate, oxygen levels, breathing effort, snoring, sleeping position) and the technicians will watching you throughout the night so the test won't miss any gasping during sleep.
This happened to me, as well. Nights are horrible for me due to not breathing when trying to sleep. But nothing showed up in the sleep study so they don't know how to help me.
Similar experience here. First doctor concluded thing in my nose had moved out of place (it hadn't) because the pauses were too long. Second test showed biot pattern, but doctor offered no help for that. Third test, I only slept for 2 hours with all those cables and gadgets on me.
I have a Neurologist due to a head injury as a child (I’m an epileptic because of it) who had ordered a sleep study.
I got a call from my doctor who was quite concerned as they found that I stop breathing on and off irregularly throughout the night. Thus she is suspecting CSA but she was at odds with it because it is rare for someone my age and with my build to have CSA. I was set at 75% irregular stops in breathing for brief periods throughout the night which she found odd. She then ordered an MRI to see about brainstem activity and to have a heart echo done.
She ultimately thinks something is wrong with the communication between my brain and body. My brain for some reason she suspects is not telling my body to continue breathing while asleep.
Perhaps you could get an appointment with a Neurologist who would then be the one to order the sleep study and they would be the person to review the results and go over them with you.
My periodic episodes of idiopathic double vision is ultimately what made her call me sooner rather than later.
I experience this kind of situation 2 months ago for one week that when I'm trying to fall asleep or when I'm about to fall asleep suddenly I experience breath pause then it wakes me up its like your body stop breathing automaticaly I know that our body is capable of breathing on it's own but in my experience I feel breath pause when about to sleep or when I'm about to fall asleep most of the time when I’m seconds away from falling asleep I lose my breath and stop breathing also I experience brain zaps suddenly it wakes me up It's like hypnic jerk in my brain I experience this 2 kinds of problems when I'm trying to go to sleep 2 months ago for 1 week and now I experience it again I don't have any problem when I'm already sleeping my problem is when I'm about to fall asleep or when I'm trying to fall asleep I experience this kind of problem. One day I did try to drink beers and it make me drunked so bad that I fall asleep without experiencing it and maybe it's from caffeine because every morning I drink coffee and now I stop taking coffee and yesterday I sleep without experiencing it but I just need to make sure that this does go away. I only experience this when I'm about to fall asleep not when I'm already asleep. The reason why doc that I ask this question because there is to many of us and we don't know what is happening I hope you find my comment and give us some advice on what is happening to us
Hi, thank you for watching. Since none of us at RespShop are sleep doctors, I'm afraid we don't have any answers for you. I think your best bet is to see a sleep doctor and do a polysomnography (PSG)/sleep test. A PSG measures your brain activity while you're sleeping so it can see if you have any sleep disorders. Sorry we couldn't be of much help and I hope you find an answer soon!
Did you find a solution? I have the same problem
@@sarunasgincas3821 I just found out that what is happening to me is called a hypnic jerk it's a normal condition that 70% of people experience it but in my case I exeprience it everyday so what I did is stop my caffeine intake and alcohol intake I still experience it sometimes but it's not fatal like before
@@sarunasgincas3821 Most of the people that experience this they take keppra before they go to sleep and most of the person that tries this it works with them so if you experience it try to take keppra because base on my research to those people that goes in hospital most of the doctors advice them to take anti depresant and it's not working those who have hypnic jerk.
What I do is balancing my diet like eating more vegies don't take alcohol and caffeine and 80% of it makes me have a good sleep
Try vitamin b1 it may help
Look it up
I am diagnosed with complex apnea and use ASV. But does not work satisfactorily at all. But sleep reg has shown that I have over 8 min of breathing pause. My life has been and is a nightmare of extreme proportions. over 30 years had it like this and only had ASV 4 years.
It could be that your settings need some fine-tuning. Is your sleep doctor following your therapy and adjusting your settings? If not, it's a good idea to reach out to them and request closer monitoring. Most of the ASV machines come with remote monitoring so doctors can see how you respond to their changes.
@@RespShop I got a Resmed and the hospital was online and they couldn't set anything up. Totally useless workers. So got a philips that they said they couldn't fix and it's not connected. Had technicians for months help me set it up over the internet. If it is set to breathe at least 15 times a minute, it goes 100% and breathes for me. Have it on 13 times and then I breathe most of the time myself. Preferably exhaustion and muscle weakness and extreme fatigue. Going to bed for a while now. But almost impossible to fall asleep early with a machine. I cover off is the chance to sleep. the water container lasts 7 hours. So I never get to sleep in either. It's too heavy and the machine breathes for me for short breaths. Complained about this for 6 months. Sleep measurement at the hospital didn't work as the mattress was so hard that I couldn't possibly fall asleep. But they measure me awake and then the blood oxygen is down to 91%. But measurement done a long time ago when I slept for 1 hour, it was at 82%. I live in Sweden and one of the worst countries in the western world today from being good.
AND it affects people that live at higher altitudes. The longer they are at high altitude, the more likely they are to have CSA.
I have obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea too as well as nocturnal hypoxia and I feel like a zombie all the time.
Sorry you feel like this all the time :/ If you haven't gotten an in-lab sleep study done yet, we highly encourage you to do so!
u mentioned that using the cpap machine puts one at risk of developing central sleep apnea. what is the point of using cpap then ? wouldnt that be worse ?
Some people develop central sleep apnea after starting CPAP therapy but in most cases, the CSA goes away after a few weeks as the body adjusts. It's not very common, but it does happen. The benefits of CPAP therapy outweigh the potential risk of developing CSA. Plus, there are ways to get rid of the treatment emergent CSA by adjust CPAP settings - and your doctor will monitor your response to therapy and make changes accordingly.
So, I was diagnosed with CSA at the age of 38 and been on an ASV ever since. Never took opioids or antidepressants that could have caused this. I also know I had the part of CSA that caused me to stop breathing completely and basically "turned off" in my sleep (I had it during the test and they caught it). I'm wondering what would you recommend I do to test and see if there is anything wrong with my nervous system?
Hi, thank you for watching. We think the best course of action is to ask for a referral to a neurologist. Maybe speak with your sleep doctor/sleep clinic to see if they have suggestions because there are some sleep doctors who are also neurologists. Those "type" of sleep doctors may have more answers.
Does it work?
I have a asv best thing ever got
Try vitamin b1
I have centraI/mixed apnea with a AHI of 104 deadly? i am just on oxygen now but was on the CPAP,BIPAP with failure but have not got the ASV unit yet.. I wake up choking alot of times. Thank you
We hope you get your ASV soon. That should help treat your central and mixed apneas!
Got diagnosed with csa, zoloft is helping me a lot. Should i opt for PAP machine?
Damn thanks, I have zoloft but havent used it yet, might give it a try now
I forget breating all the time...can barely sleep...horrible and scary..
Hi, yes definitely give PAP therapy a try unless the doctor that interpreted your sleep test suggested otherwise. If you had the sleep test done at a sleep lab, please make sure to follow up with the sleep doctor on treatment. If you did a home sleep test, we'd suggest getting an in-lab sleep test done to confirm the CSA diagnosis.
@RespShop I forget to breath even awake...thanks for your advice...
hey, i was chronically abused alcohool for many years at one point when i was sleeping i was livid at the face and snoring very loud, after a while i started to wake up every hour, someone told me that when im drinking my color face is changing its livid or very dark-brown like im suffocating, i have no heart issues i was recently at the doc.
What could be? the liver? something else? could be central sleep apnea?
Unfortunately we're not doctors here at RespShop so we're not qualified to give you medical advice. We don't want to lead you astray so we suggest getting medical advice from a doctor.
I’ve been on suboxone (an opioid derived medication) for 20 yrs. I developed CSA because of this. As soon as i start to nod off, my brain forgets to tell my lungs to breathe. It’s a horrible feeling …to never be able to take a nap, or sleep over anywhere without my cpap machine. It’s a nightmare. I wonder if i stop taking the medication if i will ever be able to sleep normally again?
Thank you for watching! There is a chance that CSA can be reversed once opioids are removed from the equation but this is really a question to ask your doctor.
Does the machine workd with csa ??
I had a sleep study done.. got put on a cpap resmed air sense 11… I have almost zero obstruction episodes.. all of mine are central apnea related. Should I be on another machine? Or is the air sense 11 okay?
Sometimes cpap therapy can cause central apneas but this can go away in a few weeks as your body gets used to it. A suggestion is to turn off EPR as that can also contribute to central apneas. Keep an eye on your centrals and definitely let you doctor know if you continue to have centrals with EPR off for a week or two. But if your sleep study shows that you have a significant amount of centrals, it's best to speak to your doctor ASAP since that would indicate the central apneas were a problem before CPAP.
@@RespShop thank you for the information. I appreciate you! I will definitely monitor this and speak to my doctor 🙏🏻
@@Gravesfam You're welcome! We hope it clears up without issue!
Nowhere can I find the Sleep Study Home Test Kit on your site.

Thank you for watching!
@@RespShop That just goes to the prescription assistance page.
@@GaryNichols50 If you scroll down a bit, you'll see the NightOwl Home Sleep Test Device and at the bottom there's a button to schedule a telemedicine appointment with a sleep doctor. After the initial appointment, the sleep test device will be mailed to you.
@@RespShop Nowhere on that page is there any mention of the NightOwl Home Sleep Test Device or a button to schedule a telemedicine appointment.

Hello sir im 26 and when i start nodding off my brain also forgets to tell my lungs to breath its not always maybe but could it be anxiety or sleep apnea when it happens its scary
Hi, if your brain isn't sending the proper signals to the muscles that control breathing, it can be central sleep apnea. We strongly recommend talking to a doctor about this and get an overnight sleep test done in a lab.
@@RespShop I most likely will do you think it could maybe be anxiety also or something else
@@dbfuture4881 That could be it too. It's worth talking to a sleep specialist for some expert advice since some sleep doctors also train in psychiatry. They'll have a more comprehensive understanding.
i think CSA is fundamentally caused by a repressed emotion. I notice that mine went away when I had good comraderie and good relations with my coworkers, but then came back when the comraderie went away.
That's an interesting observation-emotions certainly play a big role in sleep quality. Thank you for sharing this! Please don't forget to like and subscribe if you find our video helpful 😊
I think that cancer is caused by fatherless home.
@@douchy4027 XD
Maybe for you, but not for everyone. As I have medical conditions that have likely caused it.
Is cpap the best treatment for central sleep apnea?
CPAP can be the first line of treatment for central sleep apnea and if that doesn't fix the issue then doctors usually prescribed BiPAP therapy instead. There are many different reasons why central apneas may occur and depending on the cause of the central apneas, different types of BiPAP therapies will be prescribed.
I am terrified. I just had my appendix removed 22 hours ago and am exausted and I think I now have central sleep apnea from it. I cannot sleep for a second. The second I drift away I gasp hard for air. 😢. All this while I am trying To recover from surgery
@@MG-oh1ew Temporary effects of anesthesia? Ask a doctor.
Sorry to hear this is happening. This definitely is something to bring up with your doctor. Could be due to pain medications you're on.
@@RespShop I am not on any pain meds anymore other than regular Tylenol. The doctor just ignored it all when I brought it up. But my mom watched over me last night and shook me a bit every time I stopped breathing. Eventually I was sleeping on my own. And I did this yoga nidra thing Andrew huberman talks about. Ended up sleeping 7-8 hours since last night ! Thanks the reply!
Although she said my breathing was
Shallow. Also I did not dream at all 🤔. Suppose that will come back eventually. But I will keep on top
Of this.
@@famljw3095 doctor said it was a figment of my imagination. Dumb doctor. I asked another and they said likely from the anesthesia, morphine, and fentanyl I have taken since I was admitted to the hospital on sat. Anyway I answers again above this. It is looking like it is getting better. Thanks for asking
@@MG-oh1ew Glad to hear yoga nidra helped and that you have your mom watching over you. If it continues to happen, definitely keep bringing it up with your doctor...you have to be your own advocate sometimes!
I’m not diagnosed with anything but I’m honestly scared to fall asleep. Every so often I will stay up all night because every time I drift off I wake up gasping for air. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem but last night really scared me. I was having these episodes of forgetting to breath for some reason, yet I could tell they were for less than 30 seconds. But there was this one that seemed like it lasted longer than a minute before my entire body jolted awake because something fell off my shelf. I know my body would have woken me up because I wasn’t breathing, but what if it didn’t and I just laid there not breathing? I’m only 14 years old and I know I probably have nothing to worry about but I’m honestly so scared to fall asleep now
Sorry to hear you're going through this! This doesn't sound like sleep apnea but definitely something you should get a doctor's opinion on.
Same
I’m forgetting to breath throughout my day I keep getting lightheaded
